Embodiment Construction
[0027]FIG. 1 is a sagittal cross section of a pelvic region of a female patient 10. In FIG. 1, the rectum 12 of patient 10 extends inferiorly and terminates with the anal opening or anal canal 14. The anal walls 16 proximate to anal opening 14 include a mucosa (not shown in FIG. 1) proximate to anal opening 14, a submuscosa (not shown in FIG. 1) beneath the mucosa, and a musculature underlying the submucosa. The underlying musculature includes an internal anal sphincter (not shown in FIG. 1) and external anal sphincter (not shown in FIG. 1). The external anal sphincter, which is under the voluntary control of patient 10, is located more distally from anal opening 14 than is the internal anal sphincter.
[0028]FIG. 1 further shows bulking prostheses 18 implanted in the tissue of anal walls 16. Bulking prostheses 18 have been inserted in the tissue proximate to an anal sphincter. In the specific implantation shown in FIG. 1, bulking prostheses 18 have been implanted in the submucosa bet...
